How does both tree roots and prairie dogs mechanically weather rock?
They burrow which is mechanically weathering, because when they burrow they loosen it into sediments physically
How can prarie dogs weather rock?
A prairie dog weather rocks by burrowing.
How can prairies dogs weather rock?

How do plants mechanically weather rock?
The roots of certain plants can break or crack into a rock, making the rock more susceptible to frost wedging (ice wedging).
What are at least three processes that mechanically weather rock?
Three processes that mechanically weather rock are frost wedging, exfoliation, and abrasion. Frost wedging occurs when water seeps into cracks in the rock, freezes, and expands, causing the rock to break. Exfoliation happens when outer layers of rock peel away due to changes in pressure. Abrasion occurs when rock surfaces are worn down by the constant rubbing and grinding of other rock particles transported by wind, water, or ice.
Describe the similarity in the ways tree roots and ice mechanically weather rock?
i dont know, do u? what kind of question is THAT anyways? (get a life, geez)
Does the rate at which a rock under goes chemical weathering increase or stay the same when the rock becomes more mechanically weather why?
The rate of chemical weathering may increase when a rock becomes more mechanically weathered. This is because mechanical weathering can increase the surface area of the rock, providing more opportunities for chemical reactions to occur between the rock and surrounding substances, speeding up the overall weathering process.
Can igneous rock be destroyed?
Yes, they can be eroded chemically and mechanically.
How does a prairie dog cause physical weathering?
Prairie dogs can cause physical weathering by burrowing holes into the ground. These holes expose the underlying rock and soil to the elements, leading to processes like freeze-thaw cycles and water erosion that break down the materials over time. This can contribute to the overall weathering of the landscape where prairie dogs are active.
What agent of weathering can affect a rock both chemically and mechanically?
Hail. when it melts, water can damage the rock.
What are the 3 types of sedimentary?
Mechanically formed sedimentary rock , Chemically formed sedimentary rock and Organically formed sedimentary rock.
